The Field Watch That Holds the High Ground
The Nixon Corporal SS takes the field watch format and upgrades every detail. Inspired by troop transports, bank vaults, and racing tachometers, it fuses tactical function with precision craft. The result is a watch that commands the wrist as confidently as it commands a room.
Construction and Durability
The two-piece stainless steel case is built around a recessed mineral crystal, shielded by a raised stainless steel bezel that absorbs impact before it can reach the dial. This raised bezel is not decorative -- it is an engineering decision, adding a layer of real-world protection that keeps the crystal intact through the kind of daily punishment a field watch is expected to handle.
Water resistance is rated to 100 meters (10 ATM), making the Corporal SS capable across water sports, surf sessions, and heavy rain without concern.
Dial and Readability
Bold military-style print indices and large Arabic numerals at the cardinal positions deliver instant legibility. Custom-molded hands and secondary 24-hour markers reinforce the tactical character of the dial while keeping readability the clear priority. The design language draws from military time conventions and delivers it on a face that is genuinely easy to read at a glance.
Movement
The Corporal SS runs on a Miyota Japanese quartz 3-hand movement -- a proven, accurate platform used across quality watch production. It keeps reliable time and is straightforward to service when battery replacement is needed.
Bracelet
The 3-link stainless steel bracelet is faceted with a distinctive profile: viewed from the side, the links form shapes that echo a mountain range. The result is a bracelet that carries visual weight to match the case while remaining comfortable on the wrist. The links are custom-molded to the Corporal design, not a generic component.
